In the fourth match of IPL 2021, the teams of Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings were faces to face on Monday. In this match played at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to field first, but this decision was very heavy for them. The Punjab Kings batsmen battled hard, taking the score to 221 runs at the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. Captain KL Rahul (91) was the biggest contributor in this, but the player who stunned everyone is Deepak Hooda.
The 25-year-old Punjab Kings batsman Deepak Hooda came out to bat at number four in the match. He started batting as soon as he came and by the time he completed his half-century. Deepak Hooda completed his half-century off just 20 balls and came second in terms of the fastest fifty against Rajasthan Royals. He is jointly at number two with Sehwag and Hardik Pandya. At the top of this case is David Miller, who gave up fifty in 19 balls against the Royals in 2014.
Why did the name of Krunal Pandya become a trend?
Discussion of Deepak Hooda started everywhere. After all, he played the innings, but after a while, the top trend on Twitter was not the name of Deepak Hooda but Krunal Pandya of Mumbai Indians. Why did this happen? Actually, there is a connection behind this, which the fans had full knowledge of and they left no stone unturned to troll Krunal Pandya as soon as he got the chance.
Baroda suspended Deepak Hooda for the entire domestic season after a spat with Krunal Pandya in January and he scores a 20-ball 50 in his first match since then… the right kind of motivation

It happened that during the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, Deepak Hooda had removed himself from the Baroda team, due to which the Baroda Cricket Association suspended this player. Deepak Hooda had withdrawn from the team because according to him, Baroda captain Krunal Pandya had abused him and maybe he had a fight and due to this he did not want to play in the team.
